English Standard Version
10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, (A)nor is the one who (B)does not love his brother.
Love One Another
11 For (C)this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, (D)that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like (E)Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? (F)Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers,[a] (G)that the world hates you. 14 We know that (H)we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 (I)Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that (J)no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that (K)he laid down his life for us, and (L)we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But (M)if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet (N)closes his heart against him, (O)how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not (P)love in word or talk but in deed and (Q)in truth.
